Cool Incubators :) Lets see yours.

Basically what we have is a glass fronted fridge hooked up to heat mats and a thermostat. We have also got a fan to circulate the air within the incubator its self. Maintains a excellent temperature. Currently used for just leopard gecko eggs incubating 38 at the moment could fit an awful lot more in.

We used those tubs for hatchlings which have holes already in but dont add any additional holes.

I used a polybox with simple set up (heatmat, mesh floor and thermostat, bowl for water, plastic tubs with vercumilite for eggs). All eggs incubated this year hatched (33), so 100% success.

Will use same method next year.

Thats always good news mate, I might have some Royal eggs soon but will wait and see.

I wouldn't mind an incubator with digital readings for temp and humidity but need to spend a bit of cash on something that does same job as what I use.
